The photographer

Bent Rej (1940–2016) was working for the Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet in 1965 when he was assigned to chronicle the Scandinavian and German legs of the Rolling Stones’ European tour. He soon became part of the Stones’ entourage and is credited with introducing model Anita Pallenberg, who became the lover of both Brian Jones and Keith Richards, to the band. He also worked for the iconic 1960s music magazine Fabulous. Three hundred pictures Rej took of the band in 1965/66 were published as The Rolling Stones: In the Beginning (2006).
